Kelly Ripa offered everyone some much needed skincare advice during the September 21 episode of LIVE!. The ABC host and her husband, Mark Consuelos, discussed the topic during the Fall for Your Skin segment of the show.

"Listen here, you guys, we begin Fall for Your Skin week all week long," said Kelly. "We're gonna be looking at different ways to keep your skin healthy. And today, we are focusing on your neck."

Kelly continued: "I've been saying this; nobody listens to me here, but if you listen closely, you will hear pearls of wisdom. I have been saying this for several years now, the neck ages in dog years. For every year you age, your neck ages seven more years."

Mark then chimed in on the conversation to recount a story from earlier that morning. "So, you know how I do the cut in here, early in the morning before we come here? I do the cut in for the team, the New York local news. And it was Michelle Charlesworth," he said.

"And I was saying, you know, 'we are going to have Blair Underwood, Jeff Probst, and we're talking about your neck, your neck, Michelle,'" he added. "She goes, 'My neck?' I said, 'No, no, that's not...The neck in general.' And I just... I left thinking, 'Oh, my gosh, she thought I was talking about her neck.' She has a beautiful neck."

"Yeah, she's perfect. Michelle is perfect...Perfection," replied Kelly. However, the host then proceeded to warn the audience about the effects of aging on the neck. "However, one day, your neck will also turn on you, Michelle. Your neck will turn, and all of your necks will turn on all of you."

"Young people are looking at me going, 'No, not my neck.' Yes, your neck. And one day you'll find yourself on a Zoom call in a turtleneck up to your nose. And you'll remember this conversation. You heard it here," she added.

Kelly Ripa's beauty routine

Kelly consistently balances her workout routine with her beauty regime. Jimmy Coco, celebrity fake tanner and founder of his bronzing range Sunless by Jimmy Coco, exclusively spoke to us in an interview about Kelly's secret to her red carpet sun-kissed skin.

He revealed that the spray tan appointment has to be carefully scheduled around the television star's strict workout regimen."We're always trying to tan her around her workout routine," he shared. "OK, she's going to be working out at this time. When should we tan? her workouts are really important to her."

You may assume the spray tan comes after Kelly's sweat session, but it turns out it's the opposite. "We do it way before so that she can shower and then do her workout," he added.
